Which one do we insure against future harm? Which one do we assess on an annual basis? Which one do we assess the person in control? Which one do we ban unfit owners/users? Which one is governed by most legislation? Which one is the most important ? “The challenges we face converge, intertwine and often remain largely beyond our understanding. Most of us suspect that the “experts” don’t really know what’s going on and that as a species we’ve released forces that are neither managed nor manageable.”
